My plan was all but impossible, no way can I stick to just one creative outlet. I wanted it to work, but I just keep going back to other things.... hopefully I focused a bit though as I did get some of what I set out to do done, but then new ideas come up, and new requests. My oldest daughter put 5 stars on only one item on her Christmas list: a painting she requested of the Syracuse basketball logo guy,Otto; a unicorn; and a velociraptor. She requested it last year and I said I didn't see it happening, then she stuck it on her list again this year so I pretty much have to give it a shot. I'll let you know how it's going next week. Here's another mandala I started as well.... I have a copy saved that I am putting on etsy as a downloadable digital coloring book page.

A friend of mine is taking some of my rocks and pendants to a local craft show for me....
here they are in progress being spray sealed on newspaper....

and since I have some bee rocks, here's just one bee photo from this summer. bringing in some color to my dark post....

Bee love last summer

remembering their constant

hum and busy flight

I may shoot for a Christmasy post next week, maybe.

Update:

I just posted to Haiku my heart and saw the sad news that Joe Spado of the Round Circle blog passed away on December 3rd. He was known to many of us in blogland and I am lucky enough to have traded a painted rock for one of his dream catchers. He and his encouraging, thoughtful comments will be missed.....

I spent much of this summer taking pictures of mushroom along with searching for bees. I have so many photos I thought I should make an attempt to post a few ... and the mandala that I did back at that time, I think the colors are inspired by them, along with all the golden rod that was everywhere back at the end of summer.
